Unable to configure restore points - Error 0x800707B

[hallydai]

After restoring my new laptop back to factory settings (to fix problem I was having with MSE), I find that I am now unable to configure my restore points. I am trying to increase the storage space so I can have several restore points. When I click 'Apply' or 'Okay' after changing the space allocation, the following error appears:

"The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. Error 0x800707B"

The following drives appear in the Restore Config window with Restore set to 'On':

System_DRV
Windows7_OS(C(System)
Windows7_OS(C(Missing) -- this seems odd to me

For background info, I restored to factory settings and added MSE and then other programs one-by-one. After programs were re-installed, I restored my data from the previous night's backup. Everything is working fine and there are no system errors that I can see.

Would anyone have any insights on this problem?

Turn off SR, you can read help to find out how.
Turn off computer
Boot up
Turn on SR
May not work, but it does 3 out of the 5 times the problem was on this board.

Thanks, guys. I will do this as soon as my iphone backup/sync finishes, which I think will be a while, and report back.

Sorry for not checking the boards first. Will do that next time.
